Re: Cataclysm Class Preview: Priest

Well "life grip" will easily make priests the most hated class in the entire game, all thanks to idiots and jerks misusing it. You could write an entire book on the amount of ways you could single-handedly wipe an entire raid with this power and still have another entire book to write on how to grief with it in non-raid situations...

Seriously coming from the perspective of a lvl 80 combat rogue, lvl 80 prot warrior, and lvl 80 blood dk, I DO NOT WANT THIS POWER IN GAME PERIOD...

Edit: To everyone QQing about priests misusing it, how often do you wipe because a paladin misuses their bubble or DIs a healer during the fight? This isn't going to ruin the DF tool either anymore than the healer just leaving the party like they can do now. There will be people who abuse it at first to be funny but it will end up as a very effective tool in both PvE and PvP.

Re: Cataclysm Class Preview: Priest

no one noticed that now mana regen and hit rating will only be obtained through gear, no more buffs,only replenishment for mana regen but blizz also said that they will nerf that too,i think it is good idea,so you can as solo know how much mana you need and not to wait to come in raid to see do you have mana problems

Re: Cataclysm Class Preview: Priest

The thing I am really happy about is not necesarry about priests, but the fact that Blizzard finally embraced the idea that making regen/hitrating variable based on group composition is something that will never allow boss encounters to be balanced properly.

Hope the healing will be like TBC style but without chaining mana pots.

Re: Cataclysm Class Preview: Priest

It's pretty damn important that Life Grip will only be castable on party members, so while a healer will be able to wipe a raid with it, at least they'll be kicked, ignored, and blacklisted promptly. They won't be able to grief people and steal mining nodes, for example.

Re: Cataclysm Class Preview: Priest

omg I want Life Grip to see release. I hope they go with a "just boot griefers from the raid" mindset instead of nerfing/removing it. Mebe they'll just make it only usable on targets in combat or something, which would get rid of atleast some abuse problems, but also nerf the usefulness a bit. Not that pulling people around out of combat wouldn't be godly fun.

Patch changes quote from: Tigole
--Many class changes. You won't like the ones made to your own class but you'll think the changes made to the 9 other classes are all overpowered.

Re: Cataclysm Class Preview: Priest

Hrrrrm, my first thought when I saw "Life Grip" was basically that priests can now jump off places close to a ledge, Life Grip someone and then Levitate to safety while the other dies a rather annoying death. I'm a bad, bad warlock. :'(

I do like the concept of a lot of the changes though, particularily the changes to discipline. Improved shielding moving away from PW: Shield is rather interesting and might create a bit of depth to that role.

Re: Cataclysm Class Preview: Priest

Leap of Faith (level 85) sounds awesome

hope they don't remove it in the beta.

Time waits for no one.
